Citing Your Sources

Citing Your Sources

If you are collecting references for a project, looking for information on how to cite within a particular discipline, or interested in using software to collect and automatically format your list of references in the proper citation style, the following pages may be of use:

Citation Guides - General information on citation as well as information on what's available at McGill (for example, EndNote, which is free for McGill staff and students) and how to get support

If you are writing a paper for a course, ask your professors what citation style they recommend. If you are publishing a journal article in the health sciences, consult the instructions for authors database or the journal website to find out what citation style they require your references to be formatted in.

Download Endnote

McGill students and staff may download EndNote free of charge onto their personal computers at home or at the university.

Please follow carefully the installation instructions listed on the download page. For Windows users, this includes correctly extracting all files.
